Astronomical Conference at Paris.

1.-THE astronomers who met on the 18th
ult., at the invitation OF the Paris Acad-
envy of Science" says q Paris CORE
spondent of the London Times, "agreed
upon pIan TO be adopted by the various
obseTvatories which will join in the work
of making Photographic chart of the
heavens.
"The meetings which took place in the
large hall of the Paris Observatory, were
attended by Auwers of Berlin, Bertrand
of Paris, Cruls of Brazil, Elder Of Vienna,
Elkin of America, Folie of Brussels, eau
tier Of Geneva, Gill of Cape Of Good Hope,
Glyden of Stockholm, Knobel of London,
Dom OF Lisbon, Oudensans of Utrecht,
Pechnle of Copenhagen, PujaZOn of Cadiz,
Rayet of Bordeaux, Roberts of Liverpool,
Russell of Sydney, Tacchini of Rome,
Thiele of Copenhagen, Tisserand of Paris,
Trepied of Algiers, Wlnterhalter of Wash
ington, Wolf of Paris, and many others.
Nearly all the men are engaged in astro-
nomical photography, so that the de-
cisiOns of this conference will have all
the authority that such truly represent
ative gathering gives
"The conference took into considera-
ton the main questions, and agreed upon
them after some discussion, those main
questions being briefy-CD the need of
Photographic chart of the heavens; ~
the use of instruments alike in all their
essential parts; 60 the extent Of the
work generally.
"a committee was then formed to con-
slider the kind of instrument to be en-
ployed. After considerable discussion
this was decided to be an instrument
indentical with that already employed by
the brothers Henry, in Paris, the magni-
tude of stars to be taken on the photo
graphs being fixed at what is now known
as the 18th magnitude.
ga Photographic chart of the heavens
is to be at once undertaken by the va
rious observatories which will join in
the work.
"Six obseryatories, four of them
French, have already joined, and Chile,
through IFS ambassador at Paris, has de-
clared its intention of Joining; there are
thus alreadyseven obseryatories which will
st once, when the instruments are resdy,
begin the work. Many OF the astrono-
mers who attended the conference stated
that, while they were unable to say detin-
itely that their governments would join,
they had little doubt that they would do
so; so that now it may be consid-
cred as finally settled that we shall soon
have a Photographic chart of the heavens,
the value of which it is quite needless to
speak Of. The arrangements made for
the work of the conference were most
complete and reflect great credit on Ad-
miral Mouchez and the French astronOm-
ers. The proceedings throughout the whole
of the eight days during which the con-
ference sat were marked by an amount
of good feeling that is not always found
in scientific gatherings. Though many
of the questions were discussed with
great vigor, the voting, when the matter
was voted upon, was, in nearly query
case, unanimous.

ECONOMICAL PRESIDENTS.
Many of Them Have Been Able to Retire
From Office with Snug Fortunes.

There seems to be some conflict in
opinions among writers for the press Just
DOW about the amount of money Mr..
Cleveland is going to accumulate in his
presidential term. One writer, the other
day, declared that the President was find
ing the expenses of his position worse
than the salary. Another says, on the
other hand, that he will go out with about
100000 saved out Of mis- salary. The
fact is that neither of them knows any
thing about the matter. Mr.Cleveland is
not taking every newspaper man into his
confidence about his private affairs. He
is undoubtedly able to live within his in
come, and with what money ne had when
he came here and the growth in value Of
what he mas purchased, it is not improb-
able that he may 90 out of the White
House with about 100000
If he does, it will put him Just about
on par in the matter of wealth with the
average retiring President. Some of
them had more than that, but good
many had less. As rule the average
President is not much of q fnancier, and
if he accumulates wealth it is because 1t
gravitates towards him by the attraction
Of high position.
President Arthur was very high feed
er and spent q great deal of money on his
table, but he managed to save about
$500, 200. Garfield was not in office long
enough to save much money. he left about
$4,000, and the gifts Mrs. Garfield has
received have made her wealthy woman.
Mrs. Hayes ran the financial end of the
house during Hayes administration, and
that she is financier is proved by the
amount saved out of his salary.
Grant never saved much of his salary,
but the generous gifts of his friends made
him independent. He lost his all in the
Grsnt-Ward failure. The sale of mis-
book has placed his wife in an attluent
position again.
When Andrew Jackson left the Waite
House he had about $4,000, good deal
of which was lost by the failure of the
Freedmen's bank.
Buchanan left over S25O,OO0 to his
and nieces.
Pierce did not do as we'll. Fifty thous-
and dollars was his limit, with no one to
inherit it.
Fillmore eft the White House poor
man, but by a second marriage became
wealthy.
John Tyler went to the White House a
poor man, but he managed to save enough
on of his salary to live in comfort.
James X. Polk left about $4,000. AS
ne had no children Mrs. Polk received it
ell.
Martin Van Buren, did not save much
out of mis- salary, but left 100000.
Andrew Jackson was counted rich
man in his day. The Hermitage, which
he left to his adopted son, is now the
property of the state.
James Monroe died in New York in
OF the earlier Presidents Washington
was the wealthiest. At his death his
estate was valued al $780, 900.
Adams was poor, but by his wise,
able Management he never suffered want. |
When Jefferson entered the White |
be was a wealthy man, but he lost his
and died insolvent.
Madison was wealthy when he became |
President and left & handsome estate,
which Mrs Madison's son, Payne Todd, |
5quandered, and left her poor woman.

with axes, disemboweled, thrown into
their graves, and, as the last shovel of
dirt fell upon them, the torch was applied
and the dense smoke and flames rose
heavenward, leaving but heap Of smol-
dering ashes to represent all that was
earthly of Pasquale.
During the ceremony the bucks and
squaws, grouped about the funeral pile,
kept up q solemn, heaEtrending crying
and wailing, the anguish and sorrow of
which could not have been more intensely
expressed by the highest type of civiliza-
ton. Several young boys, holding bows
and arrows, with fancifully designed
heGdgear of red flannel and feathers,
assisted actively. Many Indians threw
their most valuable possessions into the
fames-a buck his watch, squaWs their
ornaments and calico, AMI children and
men their weapons. The older squsWs
were, in most cases, nearly nude, as we're
many of the older men. The entire scene
was extraordinary and impressive.
The older Indians generally led the
ceremonies. Several fearful speeches
were made, which, though uninteIligiDle
to the whites, invariably ended with the
cry, "PasquQle, Pasquale!" This, with
the cremations Of the YUmas recently dy-
ing of the measles, has practically bank
rupted the tribe. 1t is feared that pa
pers of great historical interest. belong
ing toSPasquale, and received concerning
him at various times during MS long and
varied career, have been destroyed with
his body.
Several days will eIapse before the
election of g successor to Pasquale,
"Captain" Miguel being Chief al interim
by appointment of Pasquale. 1t is
thought that an English-speaking Indian
will be selected.

A Chinook Wind.

A Bostonian. who has Just returned
from flying trip TO Portland, Ore, re-
lates how he left Chicago with the mer-
curry at zero. and went on to find il con-
stantly sinking until with two loComo-
tives it was difficult to get up steam
enough to drag the train; and with roar
Ing fire in the cars il was still necessary
to keep muffled in furs TO be anything
nearly comfortable. He says that in
crossing snowy plains through Dakota,
when everybody was bundled up to the
ewes, n man accustomed 10 the country
suddenly threw back his heavy ulster col
lar, eXclaiming:
There. we've struck Chinook wind.
Now we are all right. I'm going out on
the platform"
Those not accustomed to the idiOSyn-
crasies of the American climate in that
especial locality regarded the man as be
side himself. but when ;he platform was
visited by the more daring ones it was
discovered that the temperature was that
Of mild spring day. The snow every
where was visibly melting with much
rapidity, and the mysterious wind seemed
To have blown in new season. The name
of this warm hseeze is the same as that Of
a tribe Of Indians of British Columbia,
who perhaps manufacture it, and it is said
to be SO warm that it destroys three or
four feet of snow in single night. The
gentleman who relates this thermic voy-
age closes by relating how when he ar
rived at Portland pansies were blooming
i'll the garden beds, and mildness had pos
session of the land; an ending which is
especially effective in these frozen days.

The beverage in Persia is sherbet,
which is plentifully supplied, and Of
which there are many varietieS-from the
bowl of water with squeeze of lemon TO
the clear concentrated juice of any sort Of
fruit to which water is added to dilute il.
Preparing sherbet, which is done with the
greatest care, is very important point
in so thirsty a country as Persia, and one
upon which much time is devoted. 1t
may be either expressed from the juice of
fruit freshly gathered or from the pre-
served extract Of pomegranates, cherries
or lemons, mixed with sugar, and sub
mitted to a certain degree of heat 10 pre-
serve ii for winter consumption.
Another sherbet is much drank, which
must not omit TO mention, called guzaH-
gebben, made from the honey of the
tamarisk tree. This honey is not the
work of the bee, but the produce of a
small insect or worm living in vast mum
bers under the leaves of the shrub. Dur
ing the months of August and September
the insect is collected and the honey IS
preserved. When used for sherbet it is
mixed with vinegar, and although not so
delicious as that made from fruit, it makes
an excellent temperance beverage. Only
among the rich and fashionable are
glasses used; in all other classes sherbet
is served in china bowls, and drank from
deep wooden spoons carved in pearwood

thorities, and full confirmation of the doc

The latest gospel preached beneath the sun:
Learn Of the brute how thou. when life is done,
May loose its bonds, ami cease, and know no

Learn Of the dog to die-nay, that were vain;
Death follows in the steps of life, and none
Win more of death, the shadow, than they won

His peace in death: for him the silent spheres
Keep their long watch unchalk.nged over

Unweave the web of human toll and tears;
Die like a dog when thought and love arc

Poor friend and sport of man. like him unwise
Away Thou standest to his heart too near
Too close for careless rest or healthy cheer
Almost in thee the glad brute nature dies
Go, scour the open fields in glad emprise,
Lead the free chase, leap, plunge into the mere,
Herd with thy fellows, STAY no longer here,
Seeking thy law and gospel in man'seyes
He cannot GO: love holds him fast to thee;
More than the voices Of his kind thy word
Lives in his heart; for him thy very rod
Has fowered: he only in thy will is free
Cast him not out, the unclaimed savage herd
Would turn and rend him, pining for his god.

The Laws DELAYS and Abuses.

David Dudley Field is doing good ser
vice in his old age in protesting against
the laws delay" which now practically
amounts to Il denial Of justice in our
courts. Me says the average length of
the suits which are sent up to the court of
appeals is five years. Matters are still
worse ir the supreme court of the United
States The whole aim of. our court ma
chinery seems to be to prolong litigation
and add to the emoluments of the legal
profession. Then, as Mr.. Field points out.
how shocking is the condition of our Grim
inal courts. There are 1900 untried cases
in the court of general sessions in this
city, yet in any civilized state particular
care should be taken that prompt justice
should be administered to petty criminals
who are brought before our police courts.

"Incurberated" Eggs Not wantei.

II want a dozen eggs, but want eggs
as is eggs, and not none o them as has bin
incurberated.'
This was the way little old woman
made her wants known in a Second ave-
nue. grocery store this morning, and re-
porter, who was by. asked her what she
meant by ''incurberated eggs" and was
surprised at her answer.
"Well, my boy James live up to West
Schuyler in Herkirner county. He's got
quite a smart place up Aiere and raises
chickens. That is, he chucks a lot of eggs
into a kind of a box, turns on the gas,
puts Thermometer into the box long
with the eggs, and then waits for 'em to
hatch. The eggs, though, that he puts in
the box are all examined first. He buys
EN- from farmers and puts 'em in the box.
which he calls an incurbera.or II, after
bein' in this incurberator awhile, them
eggs don't show they are fertile he takes
'em out of the box and sends 'em to mar
ket. Now, them eggs don't want fer
don't believe they are good for nothin'."
Inquiries developed the fact that the
old woman was right, and that many eggs
sent to market have been tested in incu-
bators before they are shipped and been
foupi lacking in fertility.-New York

The wax model of normal human
body, which, under the auspices and di-
.ection of Councillor Professor Waldeyer,
is being made at the Berlin School Of
Anatomy by sculptor Schuetz, was for the
first time used, a fortnight ago, at one Of
the medical courses. Its completion will
take some years yet; meanwhile the artist
is only allowed to work in Professor
Waldeyer's study. Thus far, no less than
seventy corpses have been required for
the accurate execution of the model
